CHERUBINO
Pian pianin le andrò più presso,
Tempo perso non sarà.
LA CONTESSA
(Ah, se il Conte arriva adesso
Qualche imbroglio accaderà!)
CHERUBINO
Alla Contessa
Susanetta... non risponde...
Colla mano il volto asconde...
Or la burlo, in verità.
Le prende la mano e l'accarezza
LA CONTESSA
Cerca liberarsi
Arditello, sfacciatello,
Ite presto via di qua!
CHERUBINO
Smorfiosa, maliziosa,
Io già so perché sei qua!
SCENA XII
I suddetti ed il Conte
IL CONTE
Ecco qui la mia Susanna!
SUSANNA e FIGARO
Ecco qui l'uccellatore.
CHERUBINO
Non far meco la tiranna
SUSANNA, IL CONTE e FIGARO
Ah, nel sen mi batte il core!
Un altr'uom con lei sta;
Alla voce è quegli il paggio.
LA CONTESSA
Via partite, o chiamo gente!
CHERUBINO
Sempre tenendola per la mano
Dammi un bacio, o non fai niente.
LA CONTESSA
Anche un bacio, che coraggio!
CHERUBINO
E perché far io non posso,
Quel che il Conte ognor farà?
SUSANNA, LA CONTESSA, IL CONTE e FIGARO
(Temerario!)
CHERUBINO
Oh ve', che smorfie!
Sai ch'io fui dietro il sofà.
SUSANNA, LA CONTESSA, IL CONTE e FIGARO
(Se il ribaldo ancor sta saldo
La faccenda guasterà.)
CHERUBINO
Volendo dar un bacio alla Contessa
Prendi intanto...
Il Conte, mettendosi tra la Contessa ed il paggio, riceve il bacio.
LA CONTESSA e CHERUBINO
Oh cielo, il Conte!
Cherubino entra da Barbarina.
FIGARO
Appressandosi al Conte
Vo' veder cosa fan là.
IL CONTE
Crede di dar uno schiaffo al paggio e lo dà a Figaro
Perché voi nol ripetete,
Ricevete questo qua!
FIGARO, SUSANNA e LA CONTESSA
(Ah, ci ho/ha fatto un bel guadagno
Colla mia/sua curiosità!)
IL CONTE
Ah, ci ha fatto un bel guadagno
Colla sua temerità!

The Marriage of Figaro - Pian pianin le andrò più presso Lyrics
CHERUBINO
Aside
Very softly I'll approach her,
My time will not be wasted.
COUNTESS
Oh, if the Count should arrive now
What confusion there will be!
CHERUBINO
Dear Susanna ... she doesn't answer ...
She hides her face with her hand ...
Now I'll really tease her.
He takes her hand and caresses it..
COUNTESS
Disguising her voice
Impudent fellow,
Be off from here at once.
CHERUBINO
Affected flirt,
I know why you're here.
COUNT
From afar, in the attitude of a watcher
There is my Susanna.
SUSANNA and FIGARO
Distant one from the other
Here's the bird?catcher.
CHERUBINO
To the Countess
Don't be so hard on me!
SUSANNA, COUNT and FIGARO
Aside
How my heart beats in my breast!
Another man is there with her.
COUNTESS
Go away, or I'll call for help.
CHERUBINO
Still holding her hand
Give me a kiss, or you'll do nothing.
SUSANNA, COUNT and FIGARO
By his voice, that's the page.
COUNTESS
What, a kiss? What insolence!
CHERUBINO
And why can't I do
What the Count's about to do?
SUSANNA, COUNTESS, COUNT and FIGARO
Each aside
What effrontery!
CHERUBINO
Don't be so prudish!
You know I was behind the sofa.
SUSANNA, COUNTESS, COUNT and FIGARO
As above
If the wretch persists in being obstinate,
He will ruin all our plan.
CHERUBINO
Take a kiss then ...
He tries to kiss the Countess, but the Count intervenes and receives the kiss himself.
COUNTESS and CHERUBINO
Oh heavens! The Count.
The page slips into a recess.
FIGARO
I must see what's going on there.
COUNT
Since you won't behave,
Take that, then.
FIGARO and SUSANNA
Susanna, who has seen the slap, laughs.
Ah! That's the reward
My (his) curiosity has brought me (him).
COUNTESS and COUNT
Ah! That's the reward
His temerity has brought him.
Aside
Very softly I'll approach her,
My time will not be wasted.
COUNTESS
Oh, if the Count should arrive now
What confusion there will be!
CHERUBINO
Dear Susanna ... she doesn't answer ...
